On playing the organ late at night

Hi, Sgerbic. Nice info here! Just a pedantic point, though: it's better to use permanent links. Then people won't have to dig into the page history to find what you're referring to (which is now gone from the page). Bishonen | tålk 10:56, 2 March 2024 (UTC).

Hi there, yeah, not quite great at that. I'm most content when I'm active.Sgerbic (talk) 17:20, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

I find that sometimes I write a little better when I feel "relaxingly active." According to the "Akashic Halls of the Temple of MediaWiki," this is a certain state of "editorial enlightenment," but I have yet to master this state of mind continuously. 🥳 Lighthumormonger (talk) 17:51, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join the Ten Year Society

Dear Sgerbic/Archives/2024/03,

I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Ten Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for ten years or more. ​

Best regards, Gronk Oz (talk) 00:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Ahhhh thank you for thinking of me! I've put it at the top of my talk page with honor. I think it's close to 16-years for me, I think I made my first edit in 2008. I didn't have a clue what I was doing for many years. :-) Congrats for your 10th anniversary Gronk! Sgerbic (talk) 01:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

I asked once about the Fifteen Year Society and was told just added it, no need for an invitation. Doug Weller talk 08:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Gronk and Doug - have updated my talk page! Sgerbic (talk) 16:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Doug - While looking at the example on your user page, I stole both the WikiBirthday userbox with the dates filled in, and also your trick for a re-usable menu at the top of the page!--Gronk Oz (talk) 06:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome! I probably stole it from someone else anyway a decade or more ago. Doug Weller talk 08:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

New content

You might be interested in content that a suspicious editor just added to this page. Remember, TINC. Pinging @LuckyLouie:. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 17:05, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Oh that is terrific! I can cross one more item off my bucket list! Sharing to MY Secret Cabal right now ... they will get a nice chuckle and maybe this will make a new shirt for our meetings. Sgerbic (talk) 18:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

For those meetings, remember that we eat our potatoes raw. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Innumerable podcasts obsessing over cabals need content like this to keep momentum going. - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:06, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Well said Louie. I was a bit affronted to see them posting an advertisement for tonight's latest video and they misspelled your name, they wrote Luck Louie or something like that. Their research skills amaze me. Today they accused me of receiving 7 million for my editing. That's a lot of potato salad! Sgerbic (talk) 19:24, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I ran across a pretty good analysis of the drama by an experienced editor. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:11, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

It's unfortunate that Heatherly, Ford, and the other members of Crew Credulous will never read the piece. Or if they did, believe (or understand) it. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 15:22, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Oh I like that "Crew Credulous" I think of them as "Team Dunning-Kruger". Sgerbic (talk) 18:19, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Interesting article, he explained well enough but wish he had gone farther explaining the mess. But do you two see what I see in that article? Sgerbic (talk) 18:32, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Absolutely. I'm pretty confident we're seeing the same thing. And appropriately (not) mentioned, imo. The cool kids know. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:56, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

I guess I'm not that cool, or didn't read the article carefully enough. Anyway, is this mentioned anywhere appropriate here? Might even belong in a talk header. Doug Weller talk 08:54, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
